Re: [Felvtalk] Stomatitis
Just a note on dental extractions... Helping Hands in Richmond is a great surgical/dental specialty clinic. They have pre set prices like $175 for any dental -- no matter what is needed. That includes a full mouth extraction. Meds are included. Blood work is like $45. This is a top quality clinic which I have used many, many times over the last few years. Was just there again 2 weeks ago with one for chin tumor removal and one for dental. Went great.They are against economic euthanasia and have been on Good Morning America etc. At their prices, you can travel a long way and still save a lot of money. They say "if you can get here, we will help your pet".

[Felvtalk] Stomatitis
Hi Jen, stomatitis isn't limited to older cats at all! It can have many causes, but cause can be hard to pin down. It's an immune problem and also is more common in FIV+ cats. However, other cats can and do get it. Some vets feel that it may be caused by calici virus.I have one who had severe stomatitis and did end up having a full mouth extraction done by a veterinary dental specialist. Very expensive, over $4,000 and believe me I am going to be paying for that for a very long time! The bad smelling breath is one sign. It's really bad, too! Try looking in the mouth, if it is stomatitis you will see really angry red inflammation, sometimes it's worse in the throat area. Also wanted to add my two cents on the small pupil thing. Sounds a lot like Horners Syndrome, which is usually linked to an ear problem. The very same cat of mine that had the stomatits also had Horners last summer. It really isn't harmful and usually clears on its own in a few weeks. I treated Stacy's ear infection with OTC medicine and it went away.

Re: [Felvtalk] Uneven pupils
We tapped Shmoo's lungs last night for fluid. Drew out about 90ml total. He had a rough night coming off the anesthesia but was better this morning. Still a little labored in breathing but not as bad as before the tap and I was so glad to see him purring and stretching happily. But he mostly relaxed/laid around today, unlike his 2 active siblings. Vet said the fluid will likely refill in a few days so we just spend as much time with him as we can while we wait. I'm unable to search the archives right now but isn't there anything else I can do to make the fluid stop? Didn't expect to lose another one so soon after Terence. He's so innocent.

Clindrops is likely Clindamycin. It has several trade names, including Antirobe. Also comes in little tiny pills. The liquid tastes foul, but is better cold, s refrigerate it.

Some cats that are quite young have it. I have delt with it and it is difficult to deal with. Vets usually alternate between pred. and antibiotics, and in worse case scenario all the cats teeth must be removed, which is quite costly. Howvever since you mention this jaw/lymph connection I'd definitely get another opinion. It may not be her teeth at all.

Re: [Felvtalk] Ringworm.
I have always used the Walmart brand (Equate) cream for foot fungus and it has worked very well. Not messy and doesn’t smell bad and is cheap.
